They're playing you like a fiddle LOL

Ok got it.
I am smart, because I realize that Jill Stein, the only candidate left who I want to vote for, has no chance in hell of winning, so voting for her would be throwing my vote away, and would give one more point to Trump between the two candidates who actually have a shot of winning

Then don't be a hypocrite and write in Bernie's name. He may have guts made of rice paper but that doesn't mean his supporters do.

BTW, not voting for the Clinton Cartel or Trump.
P.S. you only "throw your vote away" if you DON'T VOTE at all.

You folks think it's bad now...Wait till you see what happens when the government takes over health care. Just look what happened to college loans.

If you really think about it, Al Gore, cost Al Gore the election! He couldn't even win his home state!

One of the gotchas of Obamacare is that all policies have to be Ocare compliant whether you get them through the marketplace or not. That is why when you look at your employer's offered health insurance policies if you are lucky enough to still have it there are three options...gold, silver, bronze.

Trump 2016.
The plans should be labeled lead,iron and copper instead of gold silver and bronze

you may well die if the dems are successful in their plans to destroy healthcare so they can replace it with a plan that gives them life and death absolute power over us, because then only the poltically connected and the elites will be able to obtain good healthcare

Default Insurance Rate Hike

Our policy with Blue Cross went from $137.50 last year to $832.84....A raise of a whopping 605%. So if we pay our premiums each month and then our deductible of $13,000 for both of us it would cost $22984 per year. How can anyone construe this as "affordable" ? I think we will decide to opt out and pay our costs as we go and hope for nothing catastrophic to happen.

Wow. How anyone can think that the majority of people can suddenly add an extra $700 to their monthly expenses and be okay with it, is beyond me.

Is the $13K actually your deductible? Because beyond that, there is an out-of-pocket maximum amount you must meet before they start paying your bills at 100%. So they may pay 70% after you reach $13K, until you spend another $1500 or so on top of that, and then they'll start paying everything.

For increases in Obamacare, Thank Marco Rubio - he added a provision to the omnibus bill that took away the subsidies for increases. This is how it works - the republicans break the system, then complain it doesn't work.

I'm not a Rubio fan but he is way better than the Murphy/Obama choice that will bankrupt Florida.
